Top story: Old school XBLA shooter sale

04.02.2011

* Blacklight: Tango Down, 600 Microsoft Points (50 percent off)

* Risk Factions, 400 Microsoft Points (50 percent off)

This is newsworthy because people love a sale and most Xbox Live gamers love shooters. At the same time, the story's not really "news" because the Deal of the Week happens every week. Normally, when something big is coming down the pipe -- like Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC -- everyone knows about it well in advance and it break-out posts on tons of sites. But a little gem like this just goes right under the radar if not for sharp-eyed gamers looking for a good deal.
